ODD-EVEN a very popular phrase that is being used in recent days .
Recently, The Capital is facing many problems due to the wood which are burning in the neighbour states that is Punjab and Haryana.
I know that other than that there are many more reasons which are affecting adversely Delhi’s pollution like exhaust from diesel generators, pollution caused by the burning of crackers , burning garbage and illegal industrial activities in Delhi. But, i think that the most accurate reason for Delhi’s pollution is that smog coming from neighbouring states in Delhi .
Government should take necessary steps towards this whole trauma. It should make mutual relationship with the neighbouring states and mutually agree for the betterment of this whole scenario.
But, the major step that has been taken by Delhi’s government is the most popular ODD-EVEN. ODD-EVEN is one of the best step taken by the Delhi government. It actually resulted in lowering the pollution level . But , ODD-EVEN should also be followed by all the citizens living in The Capital and not only the mens. From this I mean it should be followed by all the womens too.
I would also like to give one example by one of the best capital than Delhi is none other than Beijing . Beijing is facing it’s worst crisis in the form of severe air pollution for several years now. To tackle the crisis, the city adopted the ODD-EVEN rule, albeit much stricter and different from what Delhi follows.
The primary difference between the scheme adopted in Delhi and Beijing is that Delhi allows several exceptions from the rule like hybrid electrical vehicles, VVIP and embassy vehicles and many more government vehicles are all exempted from the scheme. However, in Beijing, there are no exemptions to the ODD-EVEN rule.
The recent tragic levels of smog that Delhi suffered through should undoubtedly prompt also us to adopt less polluting ways. Certain aspects should be adopted by Delhi by seeing the Beijing model of ODD-EVEN. After all , it’s an example of others that we can build our own wisdom.
